UK Ex PM Johnson Visits Kyiv, Pledges To Support Ukraine

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited Kyiv on a trip on Sunday, meeting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He also pledged that Britain would “stick by Ukraine as long as it takes.”

During his trip, Johnson visited Borodyanka and Bucha, the suburbs of the Ukrainian capital.

Johnson told the mayor of Bucha; “I can tell you that the UK will be sticking by Ukraine for as long as it takes.

“You’re going to win and you’re going to get all the Russians out of your country but we will be there for the long-term.

"And we will also want to be helping you to reconstruct.”

Johnson, who left office in September was prime minister when Russia invaded Ukraine last February.

While in office, Johnson visited Kyiv several times and called Zelenskyy frequently.

Last week, the UK said it would supply Ukraine with 14 Challengers, two tanks and other heavy weaponry amid the war with Russia.
